The elegant Antoinette incense holder is made by the celebrated French ceramic house, Astier de Villatte. Irreverent, playful, and beautifully crafted, it is a perfect companion to their range of scented incense.

A dream of times past: next stop, Porte des Lilas. At the exit of the celebrated 20s metro station, the stairs bring the delighted voyager to alleys neatly bordered by pretty little houses, with mauve lilacs overflowing their garden fences. One is enraptured by the delicious and verdant fragrances, mixed here and there with puffs of rose and jasmine.

All natural fragrance incense. Each box contains approx 125 sticks, each with a burn time of 30 minutes. Incense sticks are handmade in Japan. Comes in a beautiful box each with a label handprinted in France. Porte des Lilas Incense, $82.00

 

 

 

Lost in Swiss Alpine pastures, at the heart of a small and peaceful village, stands the imposing and magnificent wooden structure of the Grand Chalet. It was here, in this unique landscape with its healing climate, that the painter Balthus made his home, enchanted by the fragrances of milk, honey and hints of citrus from the ancient lime trees that surrounded his studio. Today, like a wonderful memory, his favourite perfume fills this place once again.

There is nothing more comforting that the smell of fresh baking. This raspberry laden cake is only subtly sweet and has the most moreish lamington-esque texture. Adding the freeze-dried kaffir lime powder to the cake and glaze is optional, but we truly adore the intensely fresh and fragrant flavour that it imparts and we're certain you will too.

Coconut Raspberry Kaffir Lime Cake Kit, $27.00

In this exciting new collection of over 200 simple recipes, Anna Jones limits the pans and simplifies the ingredients for all-in-one dinners that keep things fast and easy. There are one-tray dinners, like a baked dahl with tamarind-glazed sweet potato, quick dishes like tahini broccoli on toast, one-pot soups and stews like Persian noodle as well as one-pan fritters and pancakes such as golden rosti with ancho chilli chutney. But our favourite has to be the Preserved Lemon and Herb-baked Orzo dish, as seen on Vogue.co.uk
